Richard Hoggart Book order (chronological)

Publié en France il y a plus de quarante ans, La Culture du pauvre est devenu un classique de la sociologie des classes et des cultures populaires. Dans 33 Newport Street, Richart Hoggart entreprend de raconter sa propre histoire tout en cherchant à comprendre ce qui l’a rendue possible et aujourd’hui, pensable. Il y évoque en écrivain son enfance dans un quartier ouvrier du Leeds des années 1920. Le récit de cette enfance si démunie, et pourtant si riche de souvenirs, fait comprendre que les groupes les plus dominés ont encore une culture, et qu’en même temps il n’est pas de culture populaire, si repliée sur elle-même et si protégée soit-elle, qui ne soit habitée par la domination qui s’exerce sur elle. Hoggart raconte aussi comment il a réussi à sortir, grâce à l’école, de son milieu d’origine, sans rien renier de ses origines ni de sa trajectoire et de sa réussite. Autoportrait d’un intellectuel issu des classes populaires, 33 Newport Street dessine en creux, et pour une fois en négatif, le portrait de l’intellectuel d’élite standard.

Old men outside Argos, commuters twirling umbrellas - these are the images that contribute to Richard Hoggart's picture of Farnham.

By looking in detail at one particular place, he builds up a representative picture, directing the reader outwards to general themes: the Health Service, violence on the streets, shopping and the networks that underpin communities and keep them alive.

The third and final volume of Hoggart's autobiography deals with the years from 1959 to the present, including his part in the Lady Chatterley trial and his time at UNESCO.

One of the most extraordinary literary works of the twentieth century, Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned in England and the United States after its initial publication in 1928. The unexpurgated edition did not appear in America until 1959, after one of the most spectacular legal battles in publishing history. "Of the many exquisite books written by D.H.Lawrence, the book which has gained the most popularity has been Lady Chatterley's Lover. Most famous because of its obscenity trial during the 1960's, Lady Chatterley's Lover is far from a "dirty book." Rather, through his usage of local vernacular and an in depth look at the true relationship between two humans, Lawrence has successfully portrayed sex as sacred in a world where sex is viewed as nothing more than physical pleasure. This novel is a masterful example of a writer going back to everyone's common roots and emerging with a thought provoking masterpiece designed to affect a change within its readers." online-literature "A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it." D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover "As far as vocabulary, Lady Chatterley's Lover is more explicit than Fifty Shades." Chiara Atik "Fifty Shades of Grey? It wouldn't make Lady Chatterley blush" Barbara Taylor Bradford
